Property Description for 535 East 72nd Street, 3-AB
Nestled towards the end of an idyllic river-facing cul-de-sac sits unit 3AB at 535 East 72nd Street. This combined two bedroom, two bathroom home marries exceptional custom storage space with old-world aesthetics for maximum appeal and effortless living. Rarely available, this is truly a gem in this pocket of the Upper East Side.
The entry foyer leads to a deep coat closet and a second floor-to-ceiling closet providing impressive storage and opportunity for optimal organization. There is a direct flow into the generous light-filled great room, which boasts an open dining and living area, complete with an original wood burning fireplace. Four dramatic colonial south-facing windows allow an abundance of natural light to flow through all day.
The huge separate kitchen, which can accommodate an eat-in setup, features custom wood cabinets, generous counter space, and stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A bonus pocket door provides privacy when catering or entertaining guests.
With interiors paying homage to the building's history, the bedrooms are no exception. Both are bright and airy with several sets of wooden closets and north-facing windows. There is also an opportunity present to create a large third bedroom by simply adding a wall within the existing living room.
Built in 1894, 535 East 72nd Street is a part of a four-building boutique cooperative also known as "The Black and Whites." The unique townhouse-style facade and red lacquered doors perfectly fits in with the picturesque setting on one of the very few cul-de-sacs in all of Manhattan. Please note that there is no elevator, and the unit is located on the third floor. The building is pet-friendly and permits pied-a-terres, subletting, and installation of washer/dryer. There is private and bike storage. Maximum financing of 75% is allowed.
Right off of York Avenue, this property is just steps away from Sotheby's, the John Finley Walk (East River Esplanade), John Jay Park, and terrific local dining options. With the rare benefit of no through traffic, there is also close and convenient access to several cross-town bus lines, the Q train, and the FDR Drive.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
